Halfway there, Xie Yan suddenly felt even colder, and he even started shivering despite the hot weather. Yu Yue felt the movement in her arms and wrapped Xie Yan up even tighter. "Xiao Yan, hang in there a little longer. We'll be there soon!"
Xie Yan was really feeling terrible, but she still mustered her spirits and said "okay" very softly.
Yu Yue hugged Xie Yan even tighter and then ran.
What should have been a ten-minute walk, she covered in just three minutes.
She kicked open the door to Dr. Zhao's house, shouting, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, help me!"
Hearing the noise, Zhao Dezhi, who was playing with his grandson inside the house, slowly stood up and saw Yu Yuehui, who looked fierce. He was about to curse when Yu Yuehui interrupted him, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and save him! Uncle Zhao, this is my husband, he has a high fever, please take a look!"
"His condition is very bad!"
Zhao Dezhi didn't even look at it, but waved his hand and said, "Take it directly to that room and put it over there. I'll come and take a look right now."
Although Yu Yuehui was very anxious, she tried her best to suppress her temper and anger. She gently put Xie Yan on the kang (a heated brick bed), went out and dragged the dawdling Zhao Dezhi directly into the house. "Uncle Zhao, please take a look at him!"
Zhao Dezhi glared at Yu Yuehui and cursed, "Really, she has no manners at all, like a wild child!"
He placed his hand on Xie Yan's wrist.
"He has a cold, a viral cold, and he's already running a fever. Cover him with that blanket."
"It's just a common cold, but you're making it sound like I'm going to die. You grabbed me like that. I'm so old, and I have a heart condition. What if something happens to me?"
It's clear that Zhao Dezhi is very unhappy about Yue Hui dragging him away!
Being bossed around by a junior, especially a woman, how will he save face if word gets out?
Yu Yue swallowed hard, forcing a fake smile, silently telling herself that she could endure it all for the sake of seeing a doctor!
Smiling, she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Uncle Zhao, I was wrong just now. I was too anxious and thoughtless. Please don't be angry!"
Seeing Yu Yuehui bow her head and admit her mistake, Zhao Dezhi was slightly satisfied and turned to ask Xie Yan, "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Xie Yan paused for a moment, then took a breath. "My head hurts, my whole body aches, my nose is stuffy, and my throat hurts too."
Zhao Dezhi nodded. "It's just a viral cold, nothing serious, some medicine will do the trick." Then he slowly went out.
They've gone out!
Xie Yan: "!!!!"
TD, I'm speechless, what is this thing?!
And this is a doctor!
He knew that a fever was very serious, and that one could easily become mentally impaired from it!
You, a doctor, have absolutely no sense of responsibility!
If he weren't feeling so unwell and exhausted, Xie Yan would have wanted to leave immediately. He wouldn't even want to see that despicable person's face, even if he just went to the commune to buy medicine.
That's disgusting!
So what if he knows a little bit of medicine?
Look how powerful you've become! The world can't tolerate you anymore!
Yu Yue grabbed Zhao Dezhi's arm. "Uncle Zhao, please prescribe the medicine first. I'll help you with anything! You know I'm strong. If there's any chores around the house that need help, I'll do them right now!"
Zhao Dezhi looked Yu Yuehui up and down a few times, then pretended to think about it for a while, and said, "In that case, you can go and watch the child for me in the main room."
Xie Yan rolled his eyes as he listened, wondering if there were other things to do later!
And you know what? Xie Yan was right!
He wanted to go home as soon as he finished taking his medicine, but who knew what bizarre things he would encounter next? He couldn't stay there for even a minute longer.
Zhao Dezhi casually instructed Yu Yuehui, "Fetch a few buckets of water! I checked, the water in the water tank is empty."
Xie Yan: "?"
What's going on yet again?
He's completely numb!
Who wants to do housework while visiting a doctor?!
It's true! If you live long enough, you'll see all sorts of new and exciting things!
It contains all sorts of demons and monsters!
Yu Yuehui, fearing that Xie Yan might say something that would offend someone, pulled him out the door without giving him a chance to speak.
After walking for a while, Xie Yan couldn't help but look at the carrying pole on Yu Yue's shoulder and say, "Are you really going to carry water for their family?"
Yu Yue nodded and added, "I'll be quick! I might even get home before you!"
"Take it easy on your way, I'll be right there to find you!"
Xie Yan was quite helpless. Was it really a matter of speed? "We've already given them money, why should we have to work for their family?"
Why should I?!
Yu Yue smiled and pushed Xie Yan a few steps away. "Go back now! I'll come back and explain!"
Xie Yan sighed and said nothing more.
It seems that everyone has accepted the practice of combining medical treatment with work; it has become a habit.
When Xie Yan got home, he was almost asleep when Yu Yue returned. As soon as Xie Yan saw her, he sat up and said, "It's time to explain. Let's talk!"
Yu Yuehui sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), pressed Xie Yan down, and made him lie down again before continuing, "We only have one doctor here. Sometimes when someone's child is sick, he'll go and call them in the middle of the night."
"It's late at night, so people would definitely not want to do that. That's why we usually do what we can to please him, because we might need him to save our lives in an emergency!"
"Gradually, it became a habit. In order to reduce the suffering of their family members from illness in the future, everyone would habitually try to please them."
Xie Yan frowned slightly. "So, going to get them to see a doctor requires extra physical labor?"
Yu Yue nodded, "Yes, the main problem is that there are children or elderly people at home who need to come for a check-up. Even if you call them during the day, they are slow and hesitant to leave until they finish swallowing or finishing their work!"
"This is where the importance of maintaining relationships on a regular basis comes into play. Only by maintaining good relationships can you get people to leave quickly."
"If it can't be maintained properly, you'll just have to wait!"
Xie Yan was very puzzled, "They're still like this even after we've paid them?"
Yu Yue smiled wryly, "Of course, people won't go if you don't pay them!"
But what can we do? There's only one doctor here, and we can't afford to offend him!
Xie Yan thought of the medical skills that were still gathering dust in his own space, and sneered, "Hmph!"
He wants to study medicine!
This time, I'm truly studying medicine, not the sporadic approach of before. This is a real, planned, and goal-oriented study, not for anything else, but for myself.
He didn't want his family to have to fawn over others in case of an emergency! He couldn't bring himself to suck up to that scoundrel Zhao Dezhi.
How can a doctor who lacks even the most basic medical ethics have the audacity to expect everyone to fawn over him?
Isn't it just because he's the only doctor around here?
But when that one person is gone, who will still fawn over them?
